Can I change the primary domain of my hosting account later ? Can I change it from my end or have to follow a standard procedure ?

You can change the primary domain name of your account later. For that you need to drop an email at billing@webhosting.uk.com from your registered email address. Make sure that the domain name which you wish to make the primary domain of your account isn't added as a addon domain in your control panel.

On changing data, does one loose the data? When there are databases and email accounts created in cpanel. After the domain name change, does one need to change over all those manually ?

There will be no loss of data. You will just be changing the domain and making the addon domain as the main domain.

Basically it is a swap of the domain names. So, there is no loss of data and the old domain name is replaced by the new one.
